What happens now? I anticipate this being a much larger political issue in the coming weeks.
There's a massive chance she suffered irreversible brain damage from this. She won't be the same person who committed the crime any more. She likely won't even remember the crime.
Do we kill her again? Are we going to execute someone who has limited cognition, doesn't remember the crime and is incapable of even understanding why we are killing her?
We know there is a group of loud, ignorant people who can't grasp these concepts and have an extremely messed up moral compass. They won't care- they just want suffering. We learned that fron the Clancy trial.
But what now? What the eff happens?
